[quote=Anonymous]DC1: MCPS Magnet HS; accepted to Princeton, Columbia, & Brown (and non-Ivy Stanford); no help from counselor who steered DC to applying to UMD, U of DE, and SUNY-Binghamton (of counselor-recommended colleges, DC only to apply UMD and was accepted into honors college & received merit scholarship). DC1 attends an Ivy. DC2: MCPS "Red Zone" HS; accepted to Princeton, Yale & Dartmouth (and non-Ivy U of Chicago); counselor emphatically insisted that Ivies/20 top-ranked private schools were "beyond a reach" for DC but highly recommended top-ranked public schools like Berkeley, UVA, UNC-Chapel Hill, etc. (DC applied to counselor recommended colleges and was accepted). DC2 will attend an Ivy this fall. For DC3 (MCPS MS) and DC4 (MCPS ES): We'll probably skip the college counseling altogether.[/quote]
